I did the Hoveround at Kroger. Pic, of course!

So per your advice, DH and I went to Kroger and I rode the Hoveround. It was interesting. I now know a little about how disabled people must feel. Most people tried desperately to avoid eye contact. Two people actually had the balls to ask me what was wrong with me. One was the cashier.
Mine didn't have a horn:( But I did enjoy abusing the backup beeper. My incisions aren't healed yet, so at least I got to go.
So there I am, with my list in hand and my coupon binder in the basket.

And I had a friend in a wheelchair when I was in elementary school and she told me once that the worst thing about being in a wheelchair was that people didn't look at you. Like they were afraid you were contagious or something. My whole life I have gone out of my way to make eye contact with people in chairs, on crutches or with braces or any sort of medical device, and give them a friendly smile like I would with any other person I accidentally caught the eye of. People are so funny, they really don't know how to handle stuff like that!
